Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. | 3
Combining speed, automation, performance, and flexibility, the ZE5 Cell Analyzer is the long-awaited solution for modern laboratories. It changes the questions you may have and provides answers you can trust.
■ Switch between tubes and plates with no hardware exchange — integrated sample loader, accommodating both tube racks and plates, with onboard sample mixing and temperature control provides unparalleled flexibility in handling samples
■ Maximize throughput and productivity using automation — device-agnostic application programming interface (API) and external fluidics upgrades let you scale up your high-throughput screening with 24/7 operation
■ Power your research with the ability to run high-complexity samples — up to 5 spatially separated lasers, 27 fluorescence detectors, and a small-particle detector offer ultimate flexibility for your assays
■ Analyze a 96-well plate in less than 15 min or a 384-well plate in less than 60 min* — high-velocity flow cell and high-speed electronics enable fast acquisition with virtually no aborts and provide higher resolution data in less time
■ Transform manual setup and maintenance procedures into vacation mode — onboard quality control (QC) beads, bulk fluidics and cleaner, scheduled startup and automated shutdown, and smart designs enable worry-free operation
* For a 96-well plate, 12 min when sampling 10 µl at 2.5 µl/sec in High-Throughput Mode with 0.25 sec outside/1 sec inside probe wash and 5 sec agitation at column 6. For a 384-well plate, 50 min when sampling 6 µl at 2.5 µl/sec in High-Throughput Mode with 0.25 sec outside/1 sec inside probe wash and 5 sec agitation at every other column.
A Cell Analyzer Made for Modern Laboratories
4 | ZE5 Cell Analyzer
When you need to analyze thousands of samples before moving forward in drug discovery, your low-throughput cytometer just won’t cut it. An automation-ready cell analyzer catering to all your high-throughput needs is the ultimate solution.
Fast and Reliable Screening
■ Run 96-well plates in <15 min or 384-well plates in <60 min in High-Throughput Mode
■ Analyze up to 100,000 events/sec without data loss
■ Ensure low carryover while maintaining speed with a flying collar wash station
■ Enable assay miniaturization by allowing sampling from extra small volumes
Automation-Friendly and Scale-Up Ready
■ Interface with the laboratory information management system and laboratory robotic system through the device-agnostic API
■ Choose a turnkey automation system or select your own integration partner for full customization
■ Extend operation time to 24/7 with external large-capacity fluidics upgrades
Efficient and Flexible Sample Handling
■ Switch between tube racks and plates seamlessly without hardware exchange
■ Maintain sample integrity during long screens with onboard temperature control and orbital agitation
■ Enable return of unused samples with the bidirectional sample pump*
■ Sample with minimal dead volume using intuitive, crash-proof probe calibration
* For non–high-throughput modes only.
High-Throughput Screening
Hit Detection: A rapid visualization of the target region during screening. Wells containing the hit region are colored green, non-hit wells blue.
The Green Button Go System from Biosero, Inc. is one of the integration solutions for the ZE5 Cell Analyzer, fully customizable to automate your workflow and accelerate your discovery.
Easily switch between tubes, 96-well plates, and 384-well plates with no hardware changes using the integrated sample loader.
High-Throughput Enabling Software
■ Save time with protocol and whole-plate sample name import options
■ Export data files (FCS 3.1) and statistics using multiple export options
■ Visualize target regions with Hit Detection and Heat Map features
■ Monitor sample population shifting with the Track Region function

Multicolor Immunophenotyping
Getting the most information from every single sample is crucial for your research and discovery. Splitting samples to analyze a large number of targets in separate panels is no longer a viable option.
By combining superior optical capabilities with intuitive panel design and autocompensation tools, the ZE5 Cell Analyzer turns high complexity into a simple reality.
High-Complexity Immunophenotyping Simplified
■ Provides up to 5 spatially-separated Coherent OBIS lasers and 30 Hamamatsu photomultiplier tube (PMT) detectors
■ Detect up to 27 different colors in a single panel
■ Validate optical filters automatically with the ZE5-EYE
■ Build panels easily with Everest Software’s Fluorophore Selector and built-in Spectra Viewer
■ Get publication-quality, presentation-ready results with FCS Express Flow Cytometry Software, bundled with new ZE5 Cell Analyzer sales
■ Select from thousands of flow cytometry antibodies available from Bio-Rad. Use StarBright Blue Dye– labeled antibodies to boost your resolution. Visit bio-rad-antibodies.com for more information
Everest Software allows users to easily select fluorophores and view their spectral overlaps side by side for comprehensive experiment and panel building.
Up to five spatially separated lasers with water cooling system to maintain beam stability.

A 23-color immunophenotyping panel on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was developed and analyzed on the 5-laser ZE5 Cell Analyzer. The panel identified live singlet PBMCs and myeloid, NKT, T-, and B-cell subsets with activation and differentiation markers. t-SNE plots colored by markers of major subsets are also presented. Data were analyzed with FCS Express 7.04.0014 Software. The experiment was done in collaboration with Dr. Ravi Mylvaganam, Massachusetts General Hospital.

Monitoring cytokine-producing T cells during infection or tracking minimal residual disease in blood requires sampling more than 100 million cells just to characterize a sufficient number of targets. Analyzing so many cells in a slow flow cytometer can take hours. Having to do so for dozens of samples may take days.
With the ZE5 Cell Analyzer, you can analyze up to 100,000 events per second (eps), which enables you to analyze 100 million cells in just 15 min. The ZE5 Cell Analyzer has a high-velocity flow operating at 8 m/sec, twice the stream velocity of other systems. High-velocity fluidics, sensitive optics, and capable and fast electronics all come together to achieve such a feat.
Fast and Sensitive Rare Event Detection
■ Ensure every event gets processed, even at high speeds, with powerful 50 MHz data processing and dynamic window extension
■ Minimize data spread during high-speed acquisition. With 10 psi sheath pressure and a narrow lumen flow cell, the ZE5 Cell Analyzer maintains a tight sample core that ensures great resolution over a broad range of sample flows
■ Get higher resolution and better signal-to-noise ratio with liquid-cooled, high-powered lasers and low-noise, sensitive PMT detectors
Intracellular cytokine detection. A, identification of rare IFN-g–producing CD8+ T cells (<1% frequency) in nivolumab-stimulated human PBMCs; B, fluorescence minus one (FMO) control.
Rare Event Detection
The ZE5 Cell Analyzer outperforms other systems as it continues to acquire data into the 100,000 eps range with no data loss. Other systems drop off around 20,000 eps due to data aborts. Serially diluted Dragon Green Beads (Bangs Laboratories, Inc.) at known concentrations were used to determine when the measured count fell off the expected count.

Exosomes and their roles as biomarkers and therapeutic targets are emerging areas of research. Detection of exosomes and microvesicles by flow cytometry can be difficult because resolving these extracellular vesicles (EVs) from electronic noise and sheath impurity is challenging and limited by the optical sensitivity of the cytometer.
The ZE5 Cell Analyzer was intuitively engineered to accommodate a large range of particle sizes and offers great sensitivity for detection of nanoparticles. With its extremely low noise electronics, dedicated small particle PMT detector, and dual parameter live thresholding, distinguishing small particles from debris and noise is no longer a challenge.
Gain Confidence in Small Particle Detection
■ Resolve 0.1–0.2 μm polystyrene beads with minimal effort
■ Eliminate manual setup with the dedicated small particle detector and 0.22 μm inline sheath filter
■ Trigger off any 2 parameters (light scatter or fluorescence) for best chance of detection
■ Set threshold values with a unique live threshold plot, with visibility to the full range of electronic signals
The live threshold plot of the ZE5 Cell Analyzer allows thresholding from up to two detectors, with the entire range of signals made visible.
